I learned earlier this week that actress Anne Francis (Forbidden Planet) passed last January. I met her daughter Jane in Colorado in 2002. Jane’s married to one of my old high school friends, Robert, who spends his days at the Pentagon writing up wonky outer space policy papers. Since Anne Francis has a Bacon number of 2 and I’m two degrees removed from Anne Francis, I guess I have a Bacon number of 4 through her.

  1. I am pleased that Jackie Chan is alive and well. However, the high here tomorrow is 47°F and Friday has a Winter Storm Warning. What is this “Spring” you speak of?
